How to treat a growth or tumor on the inner eyelid of a child?

Patient's question:

My daughter is now 15 months old. In the first two months, a chalazion grew on the upper eyelid of her left eye. After taking medication, it healed. But now, a stye has developed inside her left lower eyelid. Is this normal? Does it need to be surgically removed?

Doctor's answer:

Problem Analysis: Hello, based on your description, the child's condition may be a chalazion. It commonly occurs on the upper eyelid, with a slow course. The skin over the eyelid swells, forming a palpable hard lump that is not attached to the skin and is painless.
Advice: It is recommended to seek a diagnosis from a formal hospital ophthalmology department. Pay attention to eye hygiene. Hope this helps.
